day 218

“When Jesus turned and saw them following, he said to them, ‘What are you looking for?’ They said to him, ‘Rabbi’ (which translated means Teacher), ‘where are you staying?’  He said to them, ‘Come and see.’ They came and saw where he was staying, and they remained with him that day. It was about four o’clock in the afternoon.” John 1:38-39

at breakfast,

we came and saw

you pouring cereal

for all the neighborhood kids.

at noon,

we came and discovered

you sitting with the day laborers

no one had hired.

at tea, we looked

and you were sharing

a cup with the widows

folks usually ignored.

at midnight,

we saw you bedding down

with the rough sleepers,

as we were heading home
